I apologize if I've missed a thread on this...I've search and found lots on how to email from Access, but nothing quite like this.

I've got a database that gathers and manages data for project sites. I'd like to include data for contacts and since the contact data is already being entered once in outlook, I'd like to not have to enter it again. Is there a way to connect to exchange in order to pull contact information from the exchange database into an ado recordset? If so, does anyone know the connection string parameters?

Thanks.

I don't know what the connection string is but it is easy enough to find out. Go to Files/Get external data/ link table. Choose Exchange() from the file type list. Choose the table you want to link to.

Once the table is linked, open the MSysObjects table and copy the connection string.

Great, I didn't think of that! Thanks very much!!
